Bath repair in Stretham, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, we can generally put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice

What else we do in Stretham
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Do you need bath repair in Stretham?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Stretham
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Stretham. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
